Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 268: Recruitment (2)

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually became colder.

When the autumn leaves were withering, Zhao Chen, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen and others left Wugong County and headed towards Fengxiang Mansion.

Along the way, they saw countless young people building roads. Zhao Chen and others inspected their construction of the road. In this era, all that can be built is gravel roads. Zhao Chen can see that these young people are very serious about building roads, and can predict that the roads that are successfully built in the future will be very strong.

This road will connect Wugong County, Fufeng County, Fengxiang Mansion, Dasanguan, and Hanzhong. This is the first road built. In the future, they will build more roads, including the road from Guanshan to Xixia, the road from Hanzhong to Chuanshu, and the roads inside Chuanshu. Then the whole country will reach in all directions.

These young road builders worked very hard.

The weather has become cooler, and frost has begun in the morning and evening, and these young people are sleeping in the wilderness. The clothes on many young people were unusually thin. Along the way, Zhao Chen even ordered the soldiers of the imperial camp to take off their clothes and give them to the young road builders to wear.

On September 15th, Zhao Chen and others came to Fengxiang Mansion.

Here, countless young people have gathered!

These young people are not young people of the Production and Construction Corps. They are from Sichuan and Shu, and they are young people just called by the court in Sichuan and Shu!

Their number has reached 1.5 million. Among these 1.5 million people, 700,000 will stay in Guanshan, 500,000 will stay in various parts of the northwest, and 300,000 will go to Xixia. , Enter Lingzhou and Liangzhou!

They came here in early September, and they have been waiting for Zhao Chen for ten days!

They were waiting for Zhao Chen to be interviewed. They wanted to see the leader in their hearts before going to various places, to see the "red sun" promoted by the propaganda department, and to see the person they asked for instructions every morning to report at night!

As the sun sets, the sound of horses' hoofs can be heard in the distance.

The soldiers of the imperial camp are coming in this direction, and the leader is Zhao Chen.

When Zhao Chen appeared, there was a riot among the youth around Fengxiang Mansion.

Then there was a buzzing sound.

"That person, riding on a horse, he is your majesty!"

"Oh my God! Yes, he is really your Majesty! We worship his portrait every day, it is him! He is our leader, the red sun in our hearts, the great Majesty, the only saint in this world , Great man, **** man!"

"Your Majesty! It's really your Majesty! My God! I finally saw your Majesty!"

"Long live your majesty! Long live!"

The young people around Fengxiang Mansion were shouting excitedly, and gradually their voices became louder and louder, and the voice of "Long live" was earth-shattering!

"Your Majesty is here among us!"

"Quick! Get out of the way and let your Majesty pass!"

Zhao Chen has come among these young people at this moment. Compared with the soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps, they look very young. But their loyalty to Zhao Chen and their belief in sacrifice for the country are exactly the same as the soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps and the soldiers of the various armies.

Zhao Chen walked through the youth, and countless youths burst into tears.

When they were in Sichuan, they looked forward to seeing Zhao Chen every day, and now they finally saw this person!

Countless people could not describe their feelings, and at this moment there was nothing in their hearts except Zhao Chen.

"Your Majesty, I finally saw you!" Someone couldn't help but knelt down and bowed to Zhao Chen.

"Hurry up! You will soon enter the production and construction corps and become soldiers! In the army, you don't need to kneel." Zhao Chen helped the young man up and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I want to join the Forbidden Army, can I?" a young man said loudly.

The long live voices around were too loud, and Zhao Chen could only hear the young man's words with concentration.

"If you perform well in the Production and Construction Corps, you can naturally enter the Forbidden Army in the future!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely perform well! I must enter the army and build meritorious services!" the young man said excitedly.

He walked through the youth, just as he walked through the young people in Hanzhong City. Countless youths came to him, and countless youths burst into tears, and countless youths hope to be with him forever.

All night, Zhao Chen was with the young people.

There are 1.5 million young people here, and none of them fell asleep this night.

Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep at all.

In the morning, when the sun just rose, Zhao Chen came to the city wall of Fengxiang Mansion.

He looked at the young man below and was filled with emotion.

This time, another 1.5 million young people are recruited, and the population pressure on Shaanxi and Northwest China will be greatly resolved. Moreover, after these people enter the production and construction corps, they receive re-education in the production and construction corps, and their thinking will undergo a radical change. Just as he said to Yu Yunwen that day, although the world belongs to the world, it still belongs to the youth in the final analysis. Young people will grow up sooner or later, and sooner or later they will take over the country. Zhao Chen wants these young people to accept their own ideas and always follow him, so that these young people can realize their political dreams.

"This time, 300,000 people from the Guanshan Production and Construction Corps will join the army! Our military strength in Guanshan will increase to 800,000! Among them, the number of soldiers facing Jurchen and King Kang will reach 70. Ten thousand people, this is a huge force, we no longer have to fear Jurchen and King Kang!" Zhao Chen clenched his fists and secretly said.

The General Staff Headquarters has decided to enlist 300,000 people from the Guanshan Production and Construction Corps. Since this time, various places have been enlisting and mobilizing, and the best young people will join the army. The young people of the Production and Construction Corps are different from ordinary people. They also have military training on weekdays, so they can no longer be regarded as ordinary recruits. Their quality far exceeds that of ordinary people, their bodies are excellent, they can use various weapons, they understand the truth of military discipline, and they will soon become soldiers who can go to the battlefield.

"With 700,000 troops, this is still the case of the General Staff Headquarters considering the economic development of Guanshan, so only 300,000 youths were recruited! The Military Aircraft Department and the Staff Headquarters considered economic development and external expansion to achieve a balance. , We can even expand the number of the army to one million or two million! Those young people are absolutely willing to join the army!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

The young people below are still shouting excitedly, and some young people are bidding farewell to those beside them. They will go to various places in Guanshan, Northwest, and Xixia, and no one knows if they will meet again in the future. Until this time, their excitement calmed down, and their faces showed a little sadness. However, thinking that they can fight against the heavens, build meritorious deeds, achieve the many ambitious goals mentioned by the Propaganda Department, and do more things for this country and nation, their sadness is reduced a lot.

Zhao Chen looked at the youth below, his mind seemed to be no longer here, and he didn't know where he flew to.

He suddenly felt that the country in front of him was a bit like Daqin after Shang Yang's Reform, with its national strength and military strength growing. Although the power of this country is not as good as the six countries, its development speed is far faster than the six countries. Sooner or later, it will annex the six countries and build an unprecedented huge empire. He also felt that this country was a bit like a grassland that had just been unified by Genghis Khan. Although there are Xixia, Jin, and Song in the south, there are powerful flower thorns in the west, and the powerful Qincha grassland tribe in the north, sooner or later this country will Destroy all enemies, invincible across Europe and Asia.

"No, now Da Song is not only powerful by force, but our economy is also exceptionally strong! After the implementation of the rent reduction order, the living standards of farmers have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the country's economic strength has advanced by leaps and bounds! From ancient times to the present, no No dynasty implemented a rent reduction order, and no dynasty could restrict the exploitation of peasants by officials and gentry like this! No dynasty had so much repaired water conservancy projects or built roads like this! The current Song Dynasty is like the Tang Dynasty in the era of Zhenguan’s rule. The Ming Dynasty in the era of the rule of Renxuan is like the Qing Dynasty in the heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong! This country is flourishing, whether it is cultural or martial arts, and it is like a giant dragon that has risen into the sky! The rise of the Song Dynasty is unstoppable. The inevitable of history! The military and the civilians are united as one person. Try to see who can be the enemy. The countless youths of the Song Dynasty are united and are enough to defeat everything. Xixia is not worthy, and Jurchen and Kang are not worthy. Even the heaven and the earth will be conquered by us. The Song Dynasty, This is a powerful country that is rising..." Zhao Chen muttered to himself there.

He felt that his body was full of power. This power did not come from him personally, but from this country, from millions of youths below, and from tens of millions of people in Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan, and northwestern China. As the control of this country, he felt the infinite power, this is the power of the country, unmatched, flourishing, comparable to the power of the Han and Tang Dynasties, no one can resist this power of the country.

At this moment in the remote Central Plains, there are scenes of withering everywhere.

A girl in white is riding on a horse, walking slowly forward.

"It's another dilapidated village. There is no one in it." Passing by a village, the girl turned around for a while and sighed softly.

For a whole day, she walked hundreds of miles, but what she saw was still silence besides death.

There are almost no well-preserved villages and towns on the ground in the Central Plains, Henan and Lianghuai. For more than ten days, she has never seen a village or town with a population of more than two hundred people.

But in just a few years, there is a world of difference between this place and Guan Shan. Guanshan is full of vitality and prosperity, but here there is only decline. In fact, it is not only here, but Jiangnan is now far inferior to Guanshan, Sichuan and Shu. If Zhao Chen’s rule is equivalent to the rising Da Qin and Mongolia, the Zhao Gou’s rule is like Chongzhen’s Da Ming. One is constantly developing majestic, and one is becoming more and more backward. Zhao Chen has already left Zhao Go far behind.

"Tomorrow is coming to Kaifeng, I don't know what Kaifeng looks like now?" The girl whispered to herself.

It was getting dark, she continued on her way, and she stopped in a village until midnight. There was no living person in this village, and there were bones everywhere. She sat cross-legged in a broken house, closed her eyes lightly, and settled like this.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that she left the village.

Two hours later, she came to Kaifeng Mansion, the old capital of Song Dynasty.

It used to be the most prosperous city in the world, the economy here is the best in the world, and the population here exceeds one million. The fortress here is magnificent, and the scenery here is exceptionally beautiful. From the establishment of the capital of the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty to the shame of Jingkang, this place has experienced 167 years of history. It is the center of the Central Plains and the place that countless Han people yearn for.

On that day, before the gate of Kaifeng City, countless people and merchants were already coming and going, a lively scene, and the city was even more lively. But today, there is no one at the gate of Kaifeng City. The gates of Kaifeng City were already broken, and the city walls were also broken.

The girl in white frowned slightly and entered the city of Kaifeng.

There is a quiet area in the city, with weeds everywhere, and the bones of dead people can be seen in the middle of the weeds. Apart from this, there is nothing else here.

Occasionally, the crows can be heard, giving people an unusually bleak and terrifying feeling.

However, there was no horror on the girl's face, she just frowned slightly, feeling abnormally sad in her heart.

"My capital of Song Dynasty has become like this! Seeing this, it seems that there is no one in the city!" The girl said softly.

What she didn't know was that there were countless rebels here in the first two years. Later, the rebels went to Chang'an. Afterwards, some of the rebels returned to the Central Plains, but most of those rebels went to Luoyang and Shangqiu. It is too dilapidated here, no one lives here anymore.

In fact, the fate of Kaifeng was also extremely tragic. In history, after Mongolia eliminated gold, the Southern Song army went northward, and it was called Duanping into Luo. After the army of the Southern Song Dynasty entered Kaifeng City, only 300 households were found in Kaifeng City, and half of these 300 households were Jurchen and Khitan. It is conceivable to what extent was this once the largest city in the world broken?

Although Kaifeng is dilapidated, it is still very large. The girl even came to the original Song Palace and stayed here for a long time. She spent the night here.
